There are two mating surfaces. The bottom is an "o"-ring in a machined channel in the top of te TVS body to a mounting plate.
Then there is a gasketed surface from mounting plate to inlet horn on supercharger which I think is the culpert but I didn't witness the smoke test.
Either way, it's not a major setback.... just an R&D glitsch.... they'll get it right.
Hang tight.....

Sorry Dan, I was just kidding around, since everyone was giving you off-topic grief about the engine mount earlier, no offense intended.
I'm watching this thread eagerly just like everyone else, just trying to lighten the mood. We're all watching this anxiously.

I dont think you have one either Chris.
RE: TVS900 Basics - cct1 - 03-03-2013 08:33 PM
Ah, but I do....It's going on next time I work on the car, as soon as it warms up. Or if it ever warms up.
I got it used from someone here; they installed it then sold their MINI:

Otherwise I would have been in on a group buy at some point, but it came up here so I grabbed it. I still have the OEM one, but since my first one blew up at only 15,000 miles, the vibratechnics one is going on this spring.
Still need the lower mount someday, but at least I have the powerflex in there for now. I also have the powerflex tranny bushings too, doubt I'll change those out though.
Debating now about the AIM dash in the for sale section...
But this is the wrong thread for that, we need more TVS info!

No problem Chris,... I thought you might be yanking my chain about the mount. We're all anxious for more TVS info. Still wrestling with low boost issue. ... not sure why..... belt slip? ..... by-pass valve?.. high pressure leak somewhere?... faulty TVS?..... stay tuned, more news when available.
